There has to be an ulterior motive here. I don’t trust the Chinese as far as I can throw them.

There can be only one motive - China intends to challenge the USA’s global influence. Without Israel we are without a reliable ally in the middle east.

As long as Hussein is in the White House, Israel will have to find other friends.

Israel is being prudent to keep friendly with the chinese, if Obama gets another four years, they won’t be able to count on our regime.

But Hussien doesn’t need any more allies in the middle east. He’s already got more than he can handle.

Well, since Israel is without a reliable ally in the US, what do you expect?

Perhaps they are selling our secrets to China again or ratting out the CIA. There is only one nation I trust, and it is our own nation. There was a reason we were warned about entangling relationships from our founding fathers. The bribed politicians of today have no loyalty to anyone but their bank account.

George Washington and Jefferson had many astounding philosophies, including encouraging ownership of firearms, that the elite of today discourage.

The had foresight and wrote the Constitution but our corrupt pols are working to change it.

I agree that Israel could be betraying us, selling our secrets (again) to China, but they are probably feeling that they are justified due to the treachery and hostility of Obama against Israel.

When billions of our tax dollars (mine included) are going to another country including Israel, said country should be thanking us instead of selling our secrets, regardless of our internal politics.

It is not only my right as a substantial taxpayer to complain about my tax dollars going to those who sell us out, it is my obligation. As a vet and natural born American I put one and only one country first - USA. The others can go to ......

George Washington was far ahead of his time and stated we need to end entangling alliances, and especially those that cost us billions of our tax dollars while selling us out and spying on us. Corrupt politicians are the root of our problem, not necessarily politics. Eliminate the greedy self serving scum suckers and we might just get our nation back.

We should not be giving Israel or its enemies money. However, there is no evidence that Israel is currently selling our secrets. We, on the other hand, arm and train Israels enemies and along with the Eurabians, spy on Israel for the PLO.
